1. Interesting to see them all hanging out

We're being let in on some of the social dynamics.

Warren got the foodies!

[sheshe2]

2. I read somewhere they are getting sleeping bags as well.

I would want my jammies as well.

[workinclasszero]

5. The bagger party is supposed to come back tonight I think

I wonder what will happen then?

[workinclasszero]

3. Its great to see the dem House members sitting-in and lots of the Senators showing support

Getting up in the repigs grill, YES!

We will destroy that party in the fall! Its coming!!

[sufrommich]

4. It's starting to feel that way,isn't it? nt

[workinclasszero]

6. It sure is

Leave it to John Lewis a born leader all his life to organize this beautiful protest against the gun lobby!

[Beaverhausen]

7. It's Adam Schiff's birthday

He's my rep and he's there!

[workinclasszero]

Claire McCaskill, my senator was there earlier too.

[friendly_iconoclast]

9. Well done, Senator Liz!

[klook]

10. Tofu and kale, no doubt...

while Crisp Crispy fetches McDonald's for Drumpf!

[Eric J in MN]

13. Are any US House members vegetarians? NT

NT

[klook]

27. Actually, Rep. Ted Deutch, D-FL

is a vegan.

My post was an attempt at levity, without regard for the facts, but I was interested to discover this. Not sure if there are others (willing to admit it, that is!).

[NastyRiffraff]

41. I hope it's tastier than tofu and kale!

Dunkin Donuts and coffee brought by Elizabeth Warren is more like it!

[PatrickforO]

11. Senator Elizabeth Warren is a genuine progressive hero.

She's really something.

[sueh]

12. In the 2nd picture is Rep Tammy Duckworth with Liz. Tammy is running for the senate in IL. I hope we

can get her elected and send Mark Kirk home. I love Tammy!

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. ty for pointing her out.

I knew the name, not the face.
I hope you CAN get elected too!

[Vote2016]

14. Warren can do no wrong!

[OldRedneck]

15. Hillary and The Big Dawg need to visit

[Wounded Bear]

18. I disagree...

Hillary is doing fine. She should make glowing comments and show her support, but from afar.

[George II]

19. Since she's not a member of the House or Senate, I doubt she'd be permitted in the chamber.

[immoderate]

38. Former members retain floor privileges.

30. Hillary Clinton met with the House Dems this morning, before they took to the floor.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/06/22/hillary-clinton-to-meet-wednesday-with-house-democrats/

Clinton, who was invited to join the meeting by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was greeted with loud cheers and applause when she entered the weekly closed-door meeting of House Democrats. She delivered a series of opening remarks focused on uniting the party before taking questions from members. The meeting lasted about an hour with members frequently erupting into cheers.

All but eight House Democrats backed Clinton in the primary. Several of those who endorsed Sanders, including House Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) have embraced Clinton in the days since she clinched the nomination.

She discussed campaign strategy with them, her goal is the WH, Senate AND the House. Fifty states!!!!

[Agschmid]

16. She is certainly making a splash lately!

[Equinox Moon]

17. An action like this will bond them deeply

They will operate from more of a sense of solidarity now. It is an empowering experience for them, and us.

[Doctor Jack]

20. I thought senators weren't allowed to hang around on the floor of the house

Or maybe I just made that up at some point in my life? I'm not bashing Sanders or Warren for going in to show their support. I just thought it wasn't allowed, for some reason.

[Ford_Prefect]

22. AFAIK they can come and go as long as they respect the rules of order.

They are all elected members. In theory they are representing the people in the dialog of governance and doing the people's business. The Congressional halls are called the People's House for a reason, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.

[MADem]

31. The House is technically not in session. Ryan gaveled it down, and turned off the cameras.

The only reason we see them is because of live streaming via periscope.

[Botany]

24. And this is what heros look like

Tammy & Liz

[liberalnarb]

25. That's so cool.

[Cracklin Charlie]

28. Is that Rep. Ellison sitting in as he was told to do by his mom?

Good job, Mom!

[gwheezie]

29. Several senators have been coming and going

Corey Booker was there most of the day. Sherrod Brown, McCaskill, I read Tim Kaine is making a showing, so far at least 12 of them have shown support by their presence.

[bigwillq]

32. Cool pics.

K and R

[TeamPooka]

33. Warren flys and buys! Way cool lady.

[stonecutter357]

34. K&R!

[Cha]

35. Great post, working! thank you!

[workinclasszero]

36. The sit-in was so great Cha

Democrats will break the power of the NRA in Congress one day, soon I hope!

[Cha]

37. I know.. I've been enjoying the heck out of it!

Yes, they will because we won't give up.. ever.. and it will happen.

And, that will be joyous day.

[Beacool]

39. She's a treasure

As much as she would make a great VP, I hope that she stays in the Senate. She's of more use there.

[red dog 1]

42. + 1

[avaistheone1]

40. Elizabeth excels!

[red dog 1]

43. K&R

[Helen Borg]

44. But that's cheating!!!!

[DrBulldog]

45. Man, Senator Warren really, really wants that VP job.

How sad.
